A week on week the contestants stepped out of their comfort zone to give power-packed performances that enthralled not just the judges but also the audiences. The journey of the Top 5 contestants – Rupsa Batabyal, Tejas Verma, Gaurav Sarwan, Saksham Sharma and Jayshree Gogoi has been an inspiring one and there is a lot to learn from these little wonders.

Expressing the winning moment, Rupsa Batabyal said, “It feels really nice and I am very happy to have won the trophy of Super Dancer Chapter – 3. I will continue dancing because I love it. I look forward to going home, to Kolkata, and celebrating with my entire family.”

While celebrating his student success super guru Nishant Bhatt, “I still remember, when I was paired with Rupsa, I was perplexed. She is only 6 years old. So it proved to be a learning ground for me – from becoming friends with her to identifying her strengths as a dancer to working according to her moods, to building that chemistry together and many other things. It took time, but I am glad we could establish a bond. She doesn’t speak much, but her dancing does all the talking. She is a gifted child and extremely hardworking. I wish her the best in all that the future holds for her!”

Super Judge Shilpa Shetty Kundra said, “She deserves this victory. The way she performed week after week was really incredible. I am blessed that as judges, we could become a catalyst in her journey.”

“I am the happiest right now as her journey and her hard work has paid off. I just want her to be happy and continue what she is doing right now as she is too small to be pushed at something specific. She needs to enjoy what she is doing,” said Geeta Kapoor.

Meanwhile, Anurag Basu said, “Rupsa is a versatile dancer who has tried all different types of dance forms on this platform. Honestly, her journey has just begun.”
